Earn money for your school or church with CSA!
Is your school or church looking for an easy, healthy way to raise funds for your organization? We are always looking for new groups who want to become delivery sites.
Our CSA program is a subscription based produce delivery service. Participants sign up online and pick up their box at your location. In return, your group earns 10% of each box delivered.
If you are interested in starting our program at your site, please read through our program FAQ’s below and email us at csa@tanakafarms.com
Tanaka Farms enjoys connecting our local family farm with members of the community! In an effort to reach the larger community, we began partnering with schools and churches to promote the program to their members. The participating sites maintain a membership base and use their site for members to pick up their boxes. In return, Tanaka Farms offers a portion of each box delivered back to the non-profit.
New sites can be set up for weekly or every other week. We will let you know which delivery days and times are available based on your location. We will work with you to determine the best delivery window.
For each box delivered, your organization will earn 10%. For example, 10 large boxes ($39 each) and 10 small boxes ($29 each) per week will generate $68 per week. Fundraising checks are mailed quarterly (March, June, September, December) and include monies earned over the quarter.
Currently, we are accepting new sites from South Orange County to the south, the South Bay area (El Segundo, Torrance) to the north, Yorba Linda/Corona to the east, and all areas in between.
- Location in the geographic delivery area.
- Minimum of 20 members to begin the program.
- A volunteer or staff member to run the program. Site volunteers promote the program, maintain membership, print out a checklist before each delivery, ensure boxes are distributed correctly, gather empty boxes for the driver to pick up, and assist members with questions.
- Be a qualified non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
No, members will sign up online to create their individual accounts through our website. They will select your location from the drop-down menu, select their box size, and enter their credit card information. Members will also make any changes to their accounts through the website. The site host only has to print out the checklist for each delivery and make sure boxes are distributed correctly.
Promote the program frequently to your members. Send flyers home with each student, mention it in newsletters, hold tabling events, and advertise to the neighborhood (if the school allows).
We work with many private companies to deliver our produce boxes to the workplace. It is a great addition to your corporate wellness program! Private companies are not eligible for fundraising. The same requirements will apply - 20 minimum members to start and a site coordinator to maintain the program.
We would love to partner with you! Fill out the interest form or contact us at: csa@tanakafarms.com or (949) 653-2100 ext. 201. We will discuss your location and schedule a visit. Once we determine a good fit, we will set you up in our system and you can start promoting. Deliveries can begin as soon as the 20 member sign-ups are met.
